Cleaned up @link, @open and @dig, making these commands more useful and less buggy with strange input. Also made them work not only with #dbrefs but with any unique game object (possibly one should limit this to e.g. room's); if there's a multiple match a list of the relevant dbrefs are shown. You can also now inspect links/home settins using this command.

@open also supports script_parents when creating exits.
